Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of dust removal equipment, and in particular to an automatic dust removal device for battery cover plates. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of energy storage batteries for new energy vehicles, the metal and non-metal structural components of the battery cover often accumulate a large number of metal and non-metal particles on their surfaces after assembly, riveting, welding, and performance testing. For example, during riveting and welding, the metal parts of the battery cover may collide with molds and carriers, generating metal particles. Plastic parts are prone to static electricity during use, attracting foreign objects such as suspended dust, fibers from workers' clothing, and metal particles. If these particles are not cleaned in time, they will affect the electrical performance of the battery cells.

[0003] Currently, the industry standard for cleaning battery covers is manual wiping to remove dust, which is not only inefficient but also often ineffective. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides an automatic dust removal device for battery covers. First, a brush is used to clean the particles adhering to the product surface. Then, an ion nozzle is used to remove dust from the gap between the lower plastic and the cover, preventing impurities from accumulating in the gap. Finally, a high-speed rotating air knife is used to perform high-frequency dust removal on the product surface, blowing away suspended particles and ensuring the cleanliness of the battery cover, thereby improving the overall performance and lifespan of the battery.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, an automatic dust removal device for battery cover is provided, comprising a frame, wherein two sliding lower platforms extending forward and backward are sequentially installed at the lower front end of the frame, and a plurality of lower supports capable of being raised and lowered are slidably installed on the top of each sliding lower platform, and a plurality of lower electric brushes located between each sliding lower platform are installed side by side on the frame. The front end of the frame is equipped with three upper sliding platforms that extend forward and backward. The bottom of the front upper sliding platform is slidably equipped with multiple front suction heads that can move left and right and rise and fall. The bottom of the middle upper sliding platform is slidably equipped with multiple middle suction heads. Multiple upper motorized brushes are installed on the frame between each of the front suction heads and each of the middle suction heads. The bottom of the rear upper sliding platform is slidably equipped with multiple rear suction heads. Multiple ion nozzles are installed on the frame in front of each of the rear suction heads. A conveying platform extending forward and backward is installed at the rear end of the frame. Multiple sets of vertically adjustable rotary air knives and multiple static elimination mechanisms are also installed on the frame. Each set of rotary air knives is located on the upper and lower sides of the conveying platform, and each set of static elimination mechanisms is located on the front and rear sides of each set of rotary air knives.

[0006] In some embodiments, each of the lower supports is connected to the top of a plurality of lifting cylinders, which are slidably mounted side-by-side on the lower slide. The advantage is that the operation of each lifting cylinder allows the lower supports to be raised and lowered.

[0007] In some embodiments, each of the lifting cylinders is mounted side-by-side on a sliding plate, and the lower slide plate is slidably mounted on the sliding platform. The advantage lies in the further description of the specific manner in which each lower support is slidably mounted on the sliding platform.

[0008] In some embodiments, a first horizontal slide extending laterally is slidably mounted on the bottom of the upper slide at the front end. Multiple upper cylinders are slidably mounted on the front side of the first horizontal slide, and each of the front suction heads is connected to the bottom of each upper cylinder. The advantage is that it allows for XYZ three-axis movement of each front suction head.

[0009] In some embodiments, a mounting bracket is slidably mounted on the front side of the first transverse slide, and each of the front suction heads is connected to the mounting bracket. The advantage is that the specific mounting method of each front suction head is further described.

[0010] In some embodiments, a second horizontally extending slide is slidably mounted on the bottom of the upper slide at the rear end, and multiple suction frames are slidably mounted on the rear side of the second horizontal slide, with each rear suction head connected to a respective suction frame. The advantage of this is that it allows for X and Y axis movement of each rear suction head.

[0011] In some embodiments, each of the ion nozzles is mounted on a mounting rail, which is mounted on the frame. The advantage is that the mounting method of each ion nozzle is described.

[0012] In some embodiments, the conveyor platform includes a base extending forward and backward, on which a conveyor belt capable of lifting and lowering is laid. The advantage is that the structure of the conveyor platform is described.

[0013] In some embodiments, a plurality of brush rollers are mounted on the bottom of the conveyor belt. This is advantageous because each brush roller can be used to brush away particles adhering to the conveyor belt.

[0014] In some embodiments, each of the rotary air knives is provided with a dust cover. This is advantageous because the dust cover prevents particles blown away by the rotary air knives from splashing. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, an automatic dust removal device for battery cover in this invention includes a frame (not shown in the figure). Two sliding platforms 1 extending forward and backward are installed sequentially from one end (referred to as the front end, the other end as the rear end, and the other two sides as the left and right sides) to the other end at the lower front end of the frame. Multiple lower supports 2 arranged side by side and capable of being raised and lowered are slidably installed on the top of each sliding platform 1. Multiple lower electric brushes 3 arranged side by side are also installed on the frame. Each lower electric brush 3 is located between two sliding platforms 1, and the brush head of each lower electric brush 3 is located at its top.

[0019] Three extending upper sliding platforms 4 are installed sequentially from front to rear at the upper front of the frame. The bottom of the front upper sliding platform 4 has multiple front suction heads 5 that can move left and right and rise and fall, with each lower support 2 located on the front lower sliding platform 1 within the sliding range of each front suction head 5. The bottom of the middle upper sliding platform 4 has multiple middle suction heads 6, with each lower support 2 and each lower electric brush 3 within the sliding range of the middle suction heads 6. The bottom of the rear upper sliding platform 4 has multiple rear suction heads 8. Multiple ion nozzles 9 (shown as their outer covers in the figure) are mounted on the frame. Each ion nozzle 9 is located in front of each rear suction head 8. Each lower bracket 2 located on the rear sliding table 1 is within the operating range of each rear suction head 8 and each ion nozzle 9.

[0020] In addition, multiple upper electric brushes 7 are installed on the frame, each upper electric brush 7 is located between each front suction head 5 and each middle suction head 6, and the brush head of each upper electric brush 7 is located at its bottom.

[0021] A conveying platform 10 extending forward and backward is installed at the rear end of the frame, with the front end of the conveying platform 10 located within the operating range of each rear suction head 8. The frame also houses multiple sets of liftable rotary air knives (shown as their outer casings in the figure) and multiple antistatic mechanisms 12. Each set of rotary air knives is located on the upper and lower sides of the conveying platform 10 and faces the platform, while each antistatic mechanism 12 is located on the front and rear sides of each rotary air knife.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, a sliding plate 22 is slidably installed on the sliding platform 1. Multiple lifting cylinders 21 are installed side by side on the top of the sliding plate 22. Each lower bracket 2 is connected to the top piston rod of each lifting cylinder 21. Thus, each lifting cylinder 21 can drive each lower bracket 2 to rise and fall, in order to cooperate with the transfer of the battery cover 13.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, a first horizontal slide 51 extending left and right is slidably mounted on the bottom of the upper slide 4 at the front end. A mounting bracket 53 is slidably mounted on the front side of the first horizontal slide 51. Multiple suction cylinders arranged side by side are connected to the bottom of the mounting bracket 53. Each front suction head 5 is connected to the piston rod at the bottom of each upper cylinder 52. This allows for the XYZ three-axis movement of each front suction head 5 to facilitate the transfer of the battery cover 13.

[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, a second horizontal slide 81 extending to the left and right is slidably installed at the bottom of the upper slide 4 at the rear end. Multiple suction racks 82 are slidably installed on the rear side of the second horizontal slide 81. Each rear suction head 8 is installed on each suction rack 82, thereby enabling the XY axis movement of each rear suction head 8 to cooperate with the transfer of the battery cover plate 13.

[0025] In addition, each ion nozzle 9 is mounted side by side on a mounting rail 91 facing downwards, and the mounting rail 91 is mounted on the frame.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, the conveying platform 10 includes a base frame 101 extending front to back. A conveyor belt 102 capable of lifting and lowering is laid on the base frame 101. The conveyor belt 102 can be used to convey multiple battery cover plates 13 side by side, while each set of rotary air knives and each set of antistatic mechanisms 12 are located on the upper and lower sides of the conveyor belt 102, respectively. In addition, multiple brush rollers 103 are installed at the bottom of the conveyor belt 102 to brush off particles adhering to the conveyor belt 102.

[0027] Preferably, each group of rotating air knives is provided with a dust cover 111 to prevent the particles blown away by the air knives from splashing.

[0028] The automatic dust removal equipment for battery covers mainly includes the following steps in its operation process; S1: Multiple battery cover plates 13 to be dusted are fed to the front end of the front sliding table 1; S2: Each front suction head 5 operates to transfer each battery cover 13 to each lower bracket 2 of the front sliding table 1, and then slides to the rear end of the front sliding table 1. During this process, each upper electric brush 7 cleans it from above. S3: Each suction head 6 operates to transfer each battery cover 13 to each lower support 2 of the rear sliding table 1, and during this process, each lower electric brush 3 cleans it from below, thereby removing the particles adhering to its surface. S4: Each battery cover 13 slides to the rear end of the rear sliding platform 1, and during this process, each battery cover 13 will be cleaned of dust by each ion nozzle 9 in the gap between the plastic and the cover to prevent impurities from being trapped in the gap. S5: Each rear suction head 8 operates to transfer each battery cover 13 to the front end of the conveying table 10; S6: Each battery cover 13 slides to the rear end of the conveying platform 10, and during this process, each rotating air knife works in conjunction with each static elimination mechanism 12 to clean its surface and blow away the suspended particles on its surface.

[0029] This invention provides an automatic dust removal device for battery covers, which has the following advantages: 1. High dust removal efficiency: It can reach 2.8s / pcs, which is a significant improvement compared to the 16s / pcs efficiency of traditional manual cleaning; 2. Excellent dust removal effect: Compared with manual cleaning, the number of particles is reduced by about 30%, ensuring product quality; 3. Saves manpower and resources: Fewer operators are required, saving manpower and costs.

[0030] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of the present invention.
